    And Bret was fairly amiable about that. He agreed to it. He said "okay, if this is what you need to do to save your business. This is where I thought I'd spend the rest of my career. I don't want to leave, but..." Do we buy that? I kind of do.

    Should have just put the belt on Shamrock.

    True or false(I'm not 100%): Bret was drawing in 97 and Flair was not in 91?

    The combo KO Punch/World's Strongest Slam is so great.
  5. Matt D
    On the other hand, just imagine the tag team potential.

    The bandanas felt like more of an issue to me.

    Thanks guys, I'm hoping to have some fun with it and maybe tackle things from some different angles.

    Dave was talking this week about how 10-15% of he people in Mexico city make comparable US city salaries and it's those that WWE/CMLL are targetting with their high ticket prices upcoming.

    I thought that was what they were going to do with the World title last year.

    There's always Rey Escorpion?

    They just signed a new contract and it's pretty obvious that they could increase half a rating point or decrease half a rating point and it probably wouldn't matter all that much. They'll always be considered insignificant. They should be gutting part of their tv for the network, absolutely. The TV deals are signed. The network is as much money as they can make from it right now.

    I would have never been in that spot because I would have had Eddie Gilbert as the Black Scorpion and ended Starccade with Windham as the SECOND Black Scorpion during a ref distraction and picking up the win after Sting gutted Gilbert and then done my Sid/Windham/Doom vs Flair/Arn/Sting/Luger Horsemen war.
  13. Matt D
    The Sting in the main event bit is interesting. It's hard to extrapolate back because obviously they weren't putting Windham in that match instead of Sting for no reason. I know it's giving them a ton of credit, but it really does feel to me that Sting vs Luger at Superbrawl was the plan all along. Luger was revealed relatively early as the force behind the packages. Now, there were ways to make that work still, but you'd have to rethink a lot of stuff. I think they wanted to create multiple programs instead of just one. They wanted to have Sting as a draw in a match and they wanted to have Luger in a draw in a match, both of them having titles, so they could promote multiple big matches at a time? I'm not sure if it worked but I get the mindset of what they were trying to do at least. Also, neither here nor there, but I thought Will's positivity on the podcast was great, even when he was just goofing.

    I'm sure glad they asked you guys what obscure Canadian footage they wanted you to see.

    And I figured that was the argument but he was hiding it behind semantics. If we're being perfectly frank.

    Why the hell can't they just give us Usos vs Rhodes already?

    I think there's some of that in the Savage vs Garvin cage match I like a lot. I did look at the World War III 97 line up though and it's pretty brutal when it comes to that skill set. Valentine was one of the only guys I could add.
  18. Matt D
    You know, I wonder if Savage could? Do we have evidence of that, maybe from ICW? Could have Piper? These are guys who I wonder if they were able to manage stuff like that back in 80/81. When Piper was US champ was there a need for that?
  19. Matt D
    Is this the moment where things really turn?
  20. Matt D
    Well now I guess Parv and I aren't going to do that in 2016. The earth has been salted.
  21. Matt D
    Martel could have, but that's maybe it? El Dandy? Honestly, Hennig?
  22. Matt D
    Gene should have eaten the top rope gut buster. That probably would have gotten a bigger pop than even the mask reveal later in the year.
  23. Matt D
    I think we need to define talent. To me, talent is mainly "ability to have what I think is a good wrestling match," and that's 90% savvy and 10% athleticism, maybe. Now, if we're talking about "ability to be on TV every week and still be a draw/force/pop, while not totally destroying your body," then we have to factor in things like whether or not Andre could have had Show's surgery at some point and how the WWE marketing machine would have changed things, etc. Regardless, we need to break this off, but we also have to define talent and I don't think we're going to come up with a uniform answer, so we might have to break it into categories after that.

    You back up what you say, explain why you're saying it, and try to listen to what other people are saying and understand them and you can say anything.

    Do we know how much they got from Rogers?
